It is indeed a very sad day 🙁
However us Brits are a bit “stiff upper lip” so to speak when it comes to attacking ones work colleagues and considering this all happened with employees of the BBC of all people it was kind of inevitable really what the outcome was going to be. I am a “Jezza” fan and have watched Top Gear for the best part of 20 years all in all but there is now way I can condone is behaviour this time, not only did he step over the line he raced over it at 300mph!
Can Top Gear survive without Clarkson? I should think so even if May and Hammond jump ship as well for me the jolly boys outings all around the world in some of the worlds greatest cars have become a little boring over the last 2 years, it was great to watch at first but when it is every other show year after year it starts to get a bit boring or it did for me anyhow, I am more interested in cars than seeing some bafoon upset as many people as he possibly can in the shortest amount of time as possible! It is overdue a serious refresh so in the long run this could well be a good thing, time will tell.
We have another 2 shows here from the UK that are worth paying attention to if you are into such things that are more focused on car the first and my all time favourite:
Wheeler Dealers hosted by a typical Brit second hand car salesman called Mike Brewer and an absolute genius of an engineer / inventor / mechanic called Ed China details here:

Mike buys the bangers Ed repairs them in ECTG style on steroids and then Mike sells them on to hopefully make a profit catch it if you can it is a fantastic show.
The other is Fifth Gear a Top Gear style show but concentrates more actually on cars and more normal everyday cars as well, they do have their fair share of super / hyper but you will also see the latest family range stuff as well, hosted by Tiff Needell who used to host Top Gear a long time ago and is also an ex superstar race car driver, Jason Plato another racing car driver, Jonny Smith who is your motoring journalist type guy and then, then grrrrrrrrr Vicki Butler-Henderson who to be frank is ANY petrol heads wet dream :ohmy: Details here:

Vivki would be an excellent candidate to freshen up Top Gear doubt she would leave her current set up though but you never know.
Anyway, it is then end of an era but the start of a whole new one as well 😉

Wheeler Dealers is a fantastic show, one of my absolute favorites.
I am sure there are some people chomping at the bit to get Jeremy Clark for their network.

Maybe. He has proven himself to be a bit of a hot potato though, it would not surprise me either way if he did get signed somewhere else or if he did not.
